Directions were very clear on how to get to the property. Great size and very clean. Beautiful location. I’d recommend getting a few more kitchen supplies like cutting boards and such but otherwise a great trip!
What a fantastic cabin by the river in the Tahoe area!We had the best time enjoying the snow, and despite the massive storm, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was perfect for our family of four. Beautiful tucked away cabin in the woods. We loved the wood-burning fireplace and the proximity to Palisades was perfect. The host was incredibly helpful and answered any and all questions we had, which was especially helpful during the recent storm. We can’t wait to come back!
The bedrooms were cozy and the amenities provided in the bathroom were great! Check in was clear and detailed. Communication with the host was informative, positive, and timely. The espresso machine was lovely to use each morning. Felt like a retreat! The location was the best part! Private, Truckee River view and access, and National Forrest next to the cabin. The trees and backyard surrounding the cabin are so beautiful. Quick drive to Olympic Valley/Palisades. My family definitely will want to come back!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience — it truly means a lot to us. We’re so happy the cabin felt like a retreat for you and your family.
One of our favourite things about the property is the river access you mention: in winter it’s a refreshing spot for a cold plunge, and in the warmer months it becomes a special place for families to spend time together, especially with the shallow, calm area where kids can safely enjoy the water.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be delighted to welcome your family back anytime. Thank you again for staying with us!
